📸✨ It's Picture Time!!! 🌟🍎
Fall pictures are coming soon! inVision pix will be capturing our kiddos' smiles on Tuesday, September 24th. Here are a few tips to help them look their best:
Wear solid colors if possible; they tend to look great in photos!
Choose long or short-sleeved tops; sleeveless tops aren’t recommended.
Make sure clothes are as photo-ready as possible, so our Tigers look sharp!
Style hair neatly, but keep the front from being too long!
No need to coach poses—the photographer will handle it.
Get your child excited about their school portrait!
Encourage them to let their braces shine and remind them that a gap-tooth is beautiful!
If your child wears glasses, ask for photos with and without them to reduce glare.
Mark your calendars and get ready for picture day! 🚌✨

Ms. Selph's Algebra 1 class put their statistical skills to the test by asking, 'Which condition had the better reaction time?' Students created their own testing scenarios, collected data, and analyzed results using dot plots. Some stood, some sat, and others leaned over the table, discovering that standing up often led to faster reaction times when trying to catch the falling ruler! 🧠📊 #AlgebraInAction #RealWorldMath #StudentScientists
